My second pair doesn't do anything weird under blacklight but I am equally clueless as to what they may be. I'd describe their color as a pale mauve pink (slightly greyer than a true pink but IMHO not with enough purple in it to qualify as lavender... but maybe it is?) Specs are:
Height: 4 1/8" Base 3 1/4" outside edge to outside edge
Candlecup has a flared top rather than a flat rim like the blue ones have; the inside diameter just below where the 'flare' begins, is approx 3/4". When measured flat across the top, edge to edge, it is 1 3/4" diameter.
Other than the top of the candlecup, the entire stick is hexagonal in shape. It's 'waist' is 5/8" in diameter. The 'collar' below the candlecup is 1 3/8" diameter.
The underside of the base is open, and about 1" deep. The glass has the same subtle swirl effect as the Cambridge, except that in these bases, the effect is less overall and more in a narrow band about midway down ... if that makes any sense. Sorry that I don't know the exact terminology for what I'm seeing, but I will definitely learn! 🙂
The seams are not as apparant in these as on the blue ones, because of the hexagonal shape, but they are there; two can be felt on the outer edge of each base. It's a subtle difference but they are definitely there.
I can see a few tiny bubbles under 10x magnification (they are not quite as visible to the eye as in the blue candlesticks).
They both weigh exactly 6.0 ounces on my postal scale.
And lastly these do have a sort of mark, though I don't know if it helps any. On the inside of one candlecup is the number 30; on the other one, there is just the number 3 (no zero). No other markings.

No alien glow. 😉 Many thanks once again! 🙂
